Quobly, a French pioneer in silicon-based quantum computing, and Singapore-based Entropica Labs have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding to accelerate the development of fault-tolerant quantum computing technologies. The partnership will focus on software-hardware co-design, bringing together Quobly’s silicon quantum processor architecture with Entropica Labs’ fault-tolerant quantum software stack from the earliest stages of system design. This collaboration reinforces Quobly’s expansion in Singapore, establishing the nation as a regional hub for partnerships and deployment in Asia, while research and technology development remain centered in France and Europe. “Partnering with Entropica Labs…strengthens our ability to build scalable quantum systems by combining silicon hardware with fault-tolerant software,” said Maud Vinet, CEO of Quobly, signaling a significant step towards industrial-grade quantum systems ready for real-world applications.
Quobly & Entropica Labs: Singapore Partnership for Quantum Computing
The partnership, formalized in Singapore, unites Quobly’s advancements in silicon-based quantum processors with Entropica Labs’ expertise in fault-tolerant quantum software, marking a significant step toward scalable quantum systems. This agreement builds upon Quobly’s establishment of a Singaporean presence following its incorporation in October 2025 during the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH), solidifying the nation as a regional base for the company’s Asian operations. The core of this collaboration centers on co-design, integrating software and hardware from the earliest stages of development to address the challenges of scaling silicon quantum processors beyond current laboratory limitations. Specifically, the companies will jointly develop advanced compiler and optimisation technologies for fault-tolerant quantum error correction (FTQEC), tailored to Quobly’s unique silicon architecture, and aim to support the operational readiness of quantum systems throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
Tommaso Demarie, CEO of Entropica Labs, highlighted the critical shift in focus as quantum processors grow in complexity, stating, “As silicon quantum processors scale, the central challenge shifts from qubit physics to system-level fault tolerance.” He further explained that, “Unlocking their full potential requires tightly integrated error-correction and orchestration software,” and expressed optimism about Quobly’s approach to silicon quantum computing, anticipating a pathway toward mature, operational silicon quantum systems. This collaboration not only strengthens Singapore’s position within the global quantum ecosystem but also underscores the importance of international cooperation in realizing the potential of fault-tolerant quantum computing.
Silicon Quantum Processors & Fault-Tolerant Software Co-Design
The convergence of advanced silicon quantum processors and fault-tolerant software is rapidly gaining momentum, with Quobly and Entropica Labs formalizing their collaboration through a strategic Memorandum of Understanding signed in Singapore. This partnership signifies a critical shift towards holistic system design, moving beyond isolated hardware and software development to address the challenges of building truly scalable quantum computers. Quobly, established in 2022 and building upon fifteen years of research at CEA-Leti and CNRS, is focusing on silicon-based quantum chips leveraging established semiconductor manufacturing, while Entropica Labs concentrates on the software infrastructure necessary for reliable quantum computation. This co-design approach is considered essential for progressing beyond laboratory prototypes and achieving industrial-grade systems capable of handling real-world applications.

€40 Million Funding Fuels Quobly’s Q100T Program & Expansion
Quobly, the French pioneer in silicon quantum computing, is leveraging recent financial backing to solidify its presence in Asia and accelerate development of fault-tolerant systems. Following a record €19 million seed round in 2023, the company secured an additional €21 million in 2025 specifically to advance its Q100T program, a crucial step toward achieving practical, error-corrected quantum computation. This influx of capital is directly fueling the company’s expansion beyond its European base, with Singapore identified as a key regional hub for partnerships and deployment. The strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with Singapore-based quantum software firm Entropica Labs represents a significant component of this expansion, focusing on the co-design of hardware and software for scalable silicon quantum processors. This coordinated effort underscores a commitment to transitioning from experimental devices to scalable, fault-tolerant systems capable of addressing real-world challenges.
Partnering with Entropica Labs, a Singapore-based quantum software company, strengthens our ability to build scalable quantum systems by combining silicon hardware with fault-tolerant software.
